Spring 2012 Registration is now OPEN!
For More Info Please Contact Nathan Summers 817-773-2495 or footballdirector@stampedesports.com
Registration
Register by pressing the "League Registration" button and registering in the appropriate activity. League Registration button is located on the left hand side of the homepage at www.stampedesports.com. Uniform not included in league fees. This season if you choose the team fee option your fee will be due upon registering. Your team is NOT REQUIRED to choose the team fee option. The team fee option is to be paid by 1 payment upon registration. If you want your team or player to pay fee's individually please have them choose individual registration and pay the $88 (Small Fry and Bantam) or $100 (Junior or Senior) fee. The season will be an 8 game season. There will no longer be a tournament offered at the end of the season starting in spring season 2012.
Each coach, parent, and child will be required to read and sign the Stampede Sports Code of Conduct prior to participating at Stampede Sports. Coachs will recieve the form from the football director to pass out to the parents and kids of their team.
I recommend that coaches keep their rosters to no more than 10 kids per team. More than 10 and you will have a difficult time getting all the kids equal playing time during the season. If you do have a group of kids that exceeds 10 please consider splitting the group into two teams. You can coach both teams if you do choose. And we can always add individuals to your rosters to help you fill out your team.
Team Fees:**
Small Fry (3-5) & Bantam (6-8) - $780 (maximum 10 players team) - updated 12/02/11
Junior (9-11) & Senior (12-13) - $900 (maximum 10 players per team) - updated 12/02/11
Any additional players beyond the 10 player maximum for the team fee will have to pay the individual fee price.
**The team fee is optional if you wish to register your team individually you will have the ability to do so by choosing the individual registration.
Individual Players that are looking for a team will get our utmost effort to place the players on an existing team or if there are enough individual players in a particular group we will create a house team for those players. We do not create teams (other than house teams if there is enough players and a coach for the team) for players. We ask coaches of existing teams to add players to their roster (about 75% of the time teams need a player added to their team to fill out the roster). We do our best to place players but there are some instances when we are unable to place a player. Please take this into consideration when registering a player.
Equipment:
1. NO metal cleats will be allowed on the playing surface. Rubber molded cleats or running shoes are acceptable.
2. Flag belt - Stampede Sports offers these flag belts for $8 at the front desk.
3. Football Jersey or T-Shirt - Stampede Sports does not provide the shorts or football jersey that is the responsibility of the coach.
Player's Card:
Each child will need to purchase a players card to participate at Stampede Sports. Players Cards are $15 and they are good for one year from the date of purchase.
Basic Rules
Each possession will start on the 5 yard line with the exception of a fumble or interception. Team receives 4 downs to get past midfield to achieve a first down. If a first down is gained, the team gets 4 more downs to score a touchdown. Punt balls will start on the 5 yard line. All other basic flag football rules apply.

Kids are allowed to play up a Division if:
1. The child is ready to play in the older league; I will leave that up to the parent or coach.
2. The age cutoff for the kids is updated each season, contact the football director for questions. As the Football Director I still reserve the right to review team rosters and determine if the kids are placed in the age appropriate division.
